-they are in high school-
I walked into life skills class and took my usual seat.
I didn't really like this class but it did have all my friends in it.
So it's alright.
The bell rang and our teacher, Ms. Green entered the classroom.
"Hello class. Today we will be starting our semester project!"
The class erupted in groans and ms. Green just smiled.
"we will be getting into partners and you guys will be assigned a project. Girl and boy partners only."
I looked around the room and caught sight of my friend.
Of course Riley was paired up with farkle.
They just started dating and basically did everything together.
I caught sight of the guy next to them and stood up.
"Yo, wanna be partners?" I asked him.
The guy shrugged. "Sure, I guess."
Lucas friar and I have been friends for about a year.
I wouldn't say we are really close but whatever...
I took my seat again and ms green started speaking.
"You all should have a partner now and here is what the assignments are."
She picked up a clipboard and started reading off of it.
"You and your partner will either need to get married or take care of a baby doll for a week."
I leaned back in my seat. This is easy.
I would rather get fake married to Lucas than take care of a fake baby.
I've read things about those and I don't have the energy to take care of one.
The bell rang and Lucas came to my side.
"What are you guys doing?" Ms Green asked.
"Fake married." I said.
I saw Lucas looking at me curiously but I ignored it.
Ms green wrote down it down and smiled. "Great! You guys will have the ceremony."
I blinked. "Huh?"
"You guys need to get fake married obviously." She said.
No way, I'm not getting married to Lucas.
"What?! Can I change it--"
Ms Green stopped me. "It's lunch time, which means it's my break too. See you tomorrow."
She walked away and I let out a loud groan.
I turned around and saw Lucas still standing there.
I forgot he was there...
"So i guess we are getting fake married?" He asked, trying to be funny.
I shrugged, sighing. "Sure. Let's go find Riley and Farkle now."
We walked out of the classroom and headed towards lunch.

-a few days later-
So, it turns out we even have to dress up for this wedding.
I have to wear a wedding dress. And I hate dresses.
I was sitting in Riley's bedroom, waiting for her to return.
The wedding was supposed to be tomorrow and I'm really not looking forward to it.
I should've just went with the fake baby.
Riley returned, holding a large wedding dress in her hands.
"Here's my moms wedding dress. You can borrow it."
I glanced at it. It didn't look too bad...
"It looks too big." I said.
Riley shrugged. "It'll work."
I sighed, looking at it again. "I don't wanna fake marry Lucas."
Riley sat down next to me, smirking. "Don't forget you have to kiss him."
I groaned. "Riley shut up!!"
She just laughed. "I'm sorry! You should've just went with the fake baby. It's easy."
I sighed. "I know I know."
Riley stood up again, holding out the dress. "Well, you need to try it on now."
"Do I have to?"
Riley nodded, and I hesitantly took it.
Alright.
~~~~
It was the next day and today was the fake wedding.
I was standing in the bathroom stall, adjusting the dress.
I really don't like dresses, ugh.
"Maya, come out! It's almost time."
"Do I have to come out?" I asked.
"Yes. Unless you want a F in ms greens class."
I bit my lip. I can't afford to go to summer school.
I walked out and Riley smiled at me.
"You look amazing!"
I shrugged, looking at myself in the mirror
I'm 17 years old, wearing a wedding dress in school. That makes sense.
"Well let's go." Riley said, looking at her phone.
I sighed again, slowly walking out the bathroom door.
The life skills classroom was right near us.
Riley held the door open and I walked in.
I looked at the front to see it was all decorated.
This was really fancy.
I caught sight of Lucas wearing a tuxedo and blinked.
Okay he looked pretty nice in a tuxedo...
Wait what...
I walked up and met face to face with Lucas.
We both looked at each other before speaking and then Lucas chuckled.
"You look...beautiful."
I felt myself blushing for some reason. "Thanks..."
We looked over at ms green, hoping we could be done.
She motioned us to keep going.
I sighed and Lucas looked back at me.
Lucas was supposed to propose to me and then we had to kiss.
At least that's how we are doing it...
"Maya hart, will you make me the happiest man in life skills class and fake marry me?" Lucas said.
I thought about that. "Hmm...I'll think about it."
We both started laughing, trying to stay serious was hard.
"Yes, I will." I said, playing along.
"Just kiss already!" Some kid shouted from the class.
We both leaned on and kissed, and the class started clapping.
Once we let go, we headed back to our seats.
~~
After class and once I was changed into my normal clothes, I ran into Lucas.
"Hey there." He said.
"Hey." I said.
"So are you still my fake wife?" He said jokingly.
I laughed. "Sorry but no. That only lasted an hour."
The bell rang and Lucas smiled, "well, that was the best fake wedding I've had. And probably only."
He walked away and I slightly smiled.
Well, that was an easy A.
